Myrtle Lee Morgan passed away Monday, May 23, 2011.

“Well done thy good and faithful servant”, Granny heard after serving her Lord some 98 years here on earth, He called her home. Myrtle was born in Mckenzie, AL where she later met and married the love of her life, Lester (Bud) Morgan. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Her precious family of six children loved and appreciated her priorities she set in life. She instilled non-judgmental values of character as she pointed to the Bible as her absolute road map for life. Of her many virtues, her graceful, quiet and humble way of expression was always evident.

She enjoyed gathering, freezing and cooking fresh vegetables for her family. She was deeply loved by her family, extended family and a host of friends who were always inspired by he strength and zeal to preserve. She was a member of Tabernacle Baptist Church where she remained active until health prevented her attendance. She was a faithful prayer warrior.

A Mother’s Prayer I wash the dirt from little feet, and as I wash I pray, “Lord keep them ever pure and true, to walk the narrow way.” I wash the dirt from little hands, and earnestly I ask, “Lord, may they yielded be, to do the humblest task.” I wash the dirt from little knees, and pray, “Lord, may they be, The place where victories are won, and orders sought from Thee.” I scrub the clothes that soil so soon, and I pray, “Lord, may her dress Throughout eternal ages be Thy robe of righteousness.” (Barbara C. Ryberg)

Granny is preceded in death by her husband, Lester Lee (Bud) Morgan; children Tevis Reeves, Margaret Alene Greene, Jan Damon Morgan, Lester Franklin Morgan; and grandchildren; Alan and Ricky Johnson.
